This is a possibility, or it could be the DVR setting or something.
If Dave ABQ's observation is correct, then it would seem unlikely that MKII users are all having DVR deficit issues.
An iPhone held up to the scope is certainly far from an ideal recording setup, but look how drastically better the video gets doing just that at 3:15 in this video. Live in person, it looks much better than the even the iphone part, so that is the upside.
They all look better in person, LOL. Holding a video camera or iPhone up to the scope for shooting video during a hunt isn't far from an ideal setup, it is downright cumbersome and often quite detrimental.
Aren't those videos relative ?
If the DVR limits what you actually see as a YouTube video aren't the limiting factors the same regardless of the brand of thermal device?
Thanks
No. GIGO still applies. The DVR will not upgrade the imagery so is garbage goes in, garbage will go out. In other words, it won't make up for a deficit signal, though it will downgrade a quality signal.
So the question is, is the video out of lesser quality on the MKII or not?
Not IR Defense or MKII-related, but in the ongoing safa of the ATN X-sight, we have seen how the video out signal can be manipulated significantly by the firmware such that in the X-sight's case, sometimes the video out signal is actually superior to what is being seen through the scope and sometimes it has been inferior, depending on the firmware upgrade.
